Christian Schulte commented on MNG-5227:
----------------------------------------
I have written tests for 'maven-core' testing things like that. Please note: If
you set the scope to 'test' in dependency management and you have a transitive
dependency whose scope will get managed to that scope, it is wrong if that
transitive test dependency appears in any result as that scope is not
transitive. We are currently fixing this. That makes management of the
'optional' flag work as well. Thus, if you have a test where you set 'optional'
to 'true' in dependency management, transitive optional dependencies also must
not appear in any result any more.
> The 'optional' flag of a dependency should be manageable.
